Heckler on Body
Heckler
Weigh-in plan cleared for take-off
Heckler YET again I have been subjected to discrimination at an airport check-in counter.
Heckler
Waiting for some sense over weight
Heckler CHILDHOOD obesity is in the spotlight again, with Professor David Penington's suggestion that a child's weight be recorded on their primary school report.
Heckler
A matter of mind over fatter
Heckler I REALLY like the idea of schools being conscripted into the war on obesity by having to weigh and measure kids - but why stop at that? Teachers must be front line soldiers in this war and fix the...
Heckler
Neighbour can't cop jolly whistle
Heckler A FRIEND of mine was threatened with an AVO on the weekend. Now, what image has just come into your head? Some violent, uncontrollable loser who lets his fists do the talking? Some drunken yobbo? Try...
Heckler
Hard to keep abreast of all the fashions
Heckler IT IS perhaps unsurprising that men's magazines are breast-obsessed (and give these ''lady lumps'' so many different monikers that Urban Dictionary should be kept at the ready).
Heckler
Plenty of clicks and cricks in my old chassis
Heckler IF MY body was a used car that was for sale I'm not sure that I would buy it.
Heckler
Toot much to ask for variations?
Heckler CLEARLY cars can be pimped with all sorts of bells and whistles these days, but the horn remains as a bog-standard given.
Heckler
Abstaining throws up tricky issues
Heckler THE Great Vomit of Y2K was the last time I ever drank champagne or wine. I threw up so violently I lost a contact lens.
Heckler
Reality bites when your teeth turn 45
Heckler I HAVE now discovered there is a reason that surveys divide the population into 35-44 (now, in my mind, gay young things with all their teeth) and 45-and-over, where we are talking a completely...
Heckler
Arms race to end them all
Heckler It happens in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, in packed cinemas and on planes. Arm-to-arm combat that no one talks about but everyone feels.
Heckler
Books you have to read
Heckler I'M HAVING trouble with the proclivity among women of a certain age of giving each other reading material.
The Heckler
Getting on my nerves
Heckler YOU'VE probably never met your sciatic nerves. At least, not if you're lucky.
Heckler
Brawn scores over brains
Heckler Women don't get it. Well, the average woman doesn't get it. Sport, I mean - the whole obsession of the male species with any form of sport; the tunnel vision they employ when watching the TV, using...
Heckler
Gillard guilty of vowel play
Heckler I used to envy that game on television where the chocolate wheel was spun by an eager contestant. The hope was the click-clacking sound would stop at some fantastic prize or large sum of money and...
Heckler
The nanna stripped bare
Heckler A MODERN woman of 63 years, I consider myself to be broad minded. I don't flinch at hearing occasional ''colourful'' language, as long as it is not used in a threatening or abusive manner and not...
Heckler
Birthdays gone up, up and away
Heckler A ''POSTAGE PAID'' printed on a letter usually spells something business-y and boring. Last week I got a letter from my regional health department with a NSW Health logo and a hospital address on it.
Heckler
An omnibus fenestration conundrum
Heckler There is a small sign printed on the exterior of the driver's side of every NSW State Transit Authority bus: ''Do Not Enter Bus Through Window''. The window in question is more than 1.
Heckler
When no means no
Heckler IF YOU give up drinking be prepared for battle. Your body won't put up barriers. It will thank you but you will need your wits about you to face the barrage of astounded responses, the most common...
